Wild hippos are primarily found in sub-Saharan Africa, with significant populations in countries such as Uganda, Tanzania, and Zambia. They inhabit rivers, lakes, and wetlands, where they spend much of their time submerged in water to keep cool. Other countries with wild hippo populations include the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, and Kenya. While they are native to Africa, hippos have also established populations in some areas outside their natural range due to human activities.

Are hippos used in circuses?

Hippos are not commonly used in circuses due to their size, temperament, and specific care requirements. While some circuses may feature a variety of exotic animals, the use of hippos raises significant ethical concerns regarding their welfare and the safety of both the animals and the audience. Many countries have enacted stricter regulations or outright bans on the use of wild animals in circuses, further diminishing the likelihood of hippos being included in such performances.
